Battling A Cute Drama (593)

Cherubi! Brave Battle!

During their travel to Snowpoint City, Ash & Co. meet a trainer whom only loves Pokémon she deems to be cute. Criticising Dawn's Piplup, she quickly challenges Dawn to a battle. However, when the battle commences, she does not give her Cherubi any orders. Does she have a specific strategy?

I love how that girl hated Piplup but loved Buneary. It was so funny to see the penguin be rejected. Her obsession with Buneary was rather creepy.

The power boost Cherubi got to defeat Buneary was so exaggerated.

Poor Mime Jr being rejected like Piplup was. I understand her not finding Piplup cute, but Mime Jr?

After centuries finally Sudowoodo battles or appears for that matter. Glad to see him again. Fake Tears has to be the funniest portrayal of an attack ever. Sudowoodo was hilarious.

Chingling scary mouth appears. I can’t stand it, it creeps me out.=/

Croagunk and Brock were so dramatic. So wacky, I love it.

I knew something ugly was going to come out of her pokeball, a Shellder.

I was so excited to see Happiny have an official battle and Team Rocket appears. R U SRUS?

This episode really didn’t serve a purpose but it was a nice one. I love wacky fillers and Brock and that girl who I still don’t know her name were fun. Definitely a good one and I love the new clothes.

Takeshi lol.
Well I was glad to see that there were some distinction between Satoshi's and Takeshi's cloth.

While Satoshi's jacket is exact clone of Kouki's (Lucas'), Takeshi's jacket got pocket and neck area is bit different.

Brock's new outfit resembles on Paul's jacket... Hm Dawn changed her dress, but her hat and hairpins stayed same for some weird reason...
Hm, looks like really interesting episode. That Shellos was really cool...

They prob won't get rid of Ambipom from the opening for a lil while until chimchar evolves probably

At first i thought such a waste of time but then i thought

They finally arrive in Snowpoint City
Brock has a battle at last
Sudowoodo and Happiny get an actual battle and some more screen time
A shellder like wtf!!! lol but still cool to see da guy
And Wow they got the new clothes already and from Johanna no less

According to the Law of Insigificant Style Alterations (LISA), the clothing changes in the last 5 seconds of this episode deem it not a filler, and therefore, any complaints about it being a boring filler will look somehow even stupider than usual.

- A wind tunnel. No really, that's hysterical, since the gang is in a tunnel and there's wind!
- Ambipom still in opening. Sorry, Buizel.
- Psychotic COTD is just like every Poke-mom out there. Let the kiddies play with little Buneary or Pikachu, but don't EVER let them near that Dialga action figure!
- Piplup's freak-out and like designs suddenly push Shimura to a new level. The fact that Piplup remained "stone cold" for several scenes added to the artistic hilarity.
- It's Captain Two-Head-No-Arm! Also known by its nerd term "Cherubi".
- Ah, Solar Beam. How I miss the days when people actually thought that was a good attack.
- Big LOL at Manene sulking under a tree with black aura fuming from it.
- Ash: "Wow Brock, long time no see! You really followed us all the way to Sinnoh?"
- A Chingling? I still don't get why they took a Pokemon as useless as Chimecho and then made an even more useless version of it.
- Shellder...Shellder...Shellder...nope. Don't remember such a Pokemon.
- New clothes. Meh.

Since we're about to have a big stream of important episodes, it was good to have something lighthearted beforehand, even though I would love to have seen Cherrim also. Loved the COTD in this as well as the shockingly creative art. Certainly a watchable episode for those who foolishly passed it off as a waste of time in speculation.

She creeps me out when she enters her euphoric mood. Also, I've never seen Takeshi argue over to a girl like that. Great episode overall. Oh my gosh, Sudowoodo's dramatic scene was so well put. What was that music in Croagunk's scene and I remember that theme during the debut of shellder. that was back in the kanto/johto days when they were playing some scenes to fill up the climax. sounds pretty good for a remix.
